No, KB for KiloBytes. The K and M are always capitalized. Its the ending
that confuses most people.

For example...

"I have a 1.5MB DSL connection"

This is obviously incorrect, as megabytes is not a quantity used to measure
bandwidth. The correct statement would be,

" I have a 1.5Mb DSL connection "
... as megabits are indeed a unit of measure used to quantify bandwidth.

I have no idea what a small k would be used for... perhaps the measure of
calories?

kC = kila-calories...

just a though.

NuT CrAcKeR wrote nothing besides:

KB... Not MB


kB ... Not KB

[ or put differently, why is it that most people use just this (binary)
prefix with a different case to the normal use of decimal prefixes as
used throughout science as per the SI Unit Prefixes endorsed by the
International System of Units ? ]
